The fitting uses a hose barb on one end and a female swivel ball-end on the other, with a 1\/2 inch NPSM thread standard. The barb accommodates hose with a 1\/2 inch inside diameter. Rated for a working temperature range of -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F, this fitting is suited for fluid transfer lines in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial applications. Licensed trade professionals and experienced installers handle this type of fitting as part of hydronic, coolant, or water-service line assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a threaded female port must transition to a flexible hose line. The swivel ball-end design allows the fitting to seat and rotate during assembly, reducing stress on the hose and mating connection. Common use scenarios include condensate lines, chilled water connections, and general fluid transfer where a barbed-to-threaded transition is required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors regularly specify this type of connector in both new construction and service-replacement work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid handling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale swivel ball-end allows rotational adjustment during tightening, reducing hose stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPSM thread for compatibility with standard female-threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBarb sized at 0.53 inches for a secure grip on 1\/2 inch ID hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide service temperature range: -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact overall length of 1.52 inches suits tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for fluid transfer systems requiring a 1\/2 inch NPSM female swivel to 1\/2 inch ID hose barb transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any hose fitting. Hand-tighten the swivel end first, then apply a wrench to the hex head only — avoid gripping the barb or hose body. Ensure hose is fully seated past all barb ridges and secured with an appropriate clamp per local plumbing code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb x Female Swivel Ball-End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.53 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.53 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9063 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.52 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160 degrees F (71.1 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSC128HBLSV-8-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538936725810,"sku":"MSC128HBLSV-8-8","price":21.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1752243643a2c28ca2fd9c7aafc9ae7a.jpg?v=1785830191","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-msc128hblsv-8-8-brass-barbed-hose-fitting-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
